Control what your kids play by setting up Steam Family View

Keep control over the games your kids are playing by enabling Family View.

As one of the most popular places to acquire PC games, there's a good chance you own at least something on Steam. And if you have kids, the good news is you can give them access to games that you've bought without the need to create their own account.

Steam has a couple of tools in its arsenal for managing what your kids can access, and the easiest to set up is Family View. This allows you to use your existing login and simply control the content available when it's enabled. It's PIN protected and syncs across devices, so if you have multiple PCs in your house, you only have to set it up once.

Here's how to get going.
